Kicking it up to 50 work hours a week throws a monkey wrench in my life. It's like a bad version of daylight savings time, where I lose an hour a day, but then I have to fill that hour with working.
Luckily, I do like work some days and my bank account likes when I work too. It grows to show pleasure. Like a.... sponge filled with kool-aid.
Occasionally I'll have my bad/frustrated/ugh days of work where I immediately switch gears to the "want to move far away like England" setting. But then the good days cheer me right up and I'm back in action. Sometimes I think a problem is that I care too much. I want things to be good and directed and smooth, and I go mental at any disorder.
I remember when I quit working at La Suprema when I was sick of it, but then I ended up working there again the next summer. No harm, no foul.
4 years is a long time. The Olympics entertain/scare me. They'll show some guy who is like 28 and I'll think, "Wow. He's pretty old." Then I think that last Olympic games he was 24 aka younger than me. Sneaks up on you just like that. Like Anne Frank or something.
I'm going to a wedding this weekend. It's the post-coital to the Las Vegas bachelor party experience. Austin has way less money holes to avoid. Or fall into.
My hot streak on random stocks jumping up 80% or more after I buy them has fizzled a bit. But one hopped up a good 16% today. I have hope to be independently wealthy. That's mostly contingent on me independently finding a briefcase full of heroin and then finding some guy to buy it.
9 o'clock never seemed late to me when I was a child. I stayed up past that as long as I can remember. In college I'd lay in bed listening to sports radio for all hours instead of sleeping because I hate silence so much. Until I turned 24 or so and adopted this ass-backwards bizarro schedule, where being up past 10 is basically a death-sentence for the next day.

50 hours a week doesn't sound terribly fun; glad you find some enjoyment at work. :)
The UK has pretty high government debt. How about Australia or Canada?
